• Collecting SDH data in the healthcare setting is possible, however
requires thoughtful consideration in terms of workflow as well as
staff and patient education
• There are several SDH screening tools, however, data standards
are not fully defined, therefore interoperability of these data
continues to be a challenge
• HIT vendors are beginning to incorporate SDH data
• There are several use cases related to SDH data including point

health
• As SDH data standards are developed, existing shared data
models will need to be updated to include these data
